Detachment... in practice vs theory

[lighter]

It's the vulberability that makes stress so hard to handle.

The more vulnerable we are.... the harder it is, IME.

Good luck getting your papers in order for next week.

You're very thourough and competent..... I don't worry that you won't be prepared.

I worry about all you have to do, along with that.

Take care of you...... sleep, nutrition, physical therapy.

Yes.

Lighter, I've neglected you. I'm sorry.
Been very self-absorbed lately.

I am sending hopes for you to have the most amazing, steadying, supportive 3-D friend or friends appear in your life, with you several times a week in person. Hearing and being present.

You need that.

You got it?

I hope so.

I'm very very sorry it's such a hard patch.
My imagination fails but your ability to keep movng is amazing and hopeful.

Please keep letting it out, in safety.

Thanks for the thoughts, Hops.

You have your own rough patches to deal with, I understand.

I'm getting support and staying on track..... very busy with a move and not able to visit the board much.

Thanks for all the responses guys.

And thanks for the hope.

Lighter - how's it going today?
Been awhile since we've chatted... and I'm working in an intense phase. Just getting caught back up on this thread and your news....

[lighter]

tt.... I'll see my father's fig tree tomorrow..... it's always healthy and happy.  Lots of figs.

The fig tree I moved for my friend is doing well....no figs but the poor thing has big happy green leaves again.

Amber...... I'm moving along, literally and figuratively.

Happy to report we're heading back to familiar territory, school, church and routine.

I get to see my girls today!  They've been on holiday for 2 weeks and I've missed them terribly.

::doing small happy to see my wee ones dance::

Hope your intense phase leaves you time for self care and art.

((((Amber))))

I'll be busy for a good while..... not able to do more than pop in every now and again.

In the meantime.... please say a prayer for me, my children

::whispering::

and for chanqing.

Amber, Deb and CB.....

I'm at a loss for too many words but wanted to say.....

I felt warmth and care when I read your mindful words.

Thanks for taking the time to throw wood on the fire, Amber.

Thanks for the prayers Deb.

Thanks for the insights and reminder to stop and have a cup of tea, CB.

I really appreciate your support.

Hi lighter,

A close neighbor has a fig tree as big as a bedroom.  It is loaded with figs.  I got to harvest some a few days back.  I just cleaned them and froze them whole.  I stewed a few in sugar syrup then sprinkled a little curry on them.  Served with Lamb.  Exquisite!

Sending my best!

Hi, Deb and tt:

Thinking about fig trees made me smile.

Knowing someone's always here, made me feel warm and comforted.

I'm enjoying a very productive day..... creating sacred space and organizing drawers and shelves.

The girl's rooms look finished and special. 

Now.....

to get the rest of the space looking just as good.
